Malaysia Has Proposed To Set Up ASEAN Institute
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek (right) and Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir pose for a photo before attending the ASEAN Education Ministers' Roundtable (#EduRoundtables2025) and related events held here today. -- fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED LANGKAWI, June 19 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has proposed the establishment of an ASEAN Institute to consolidate expertise across various fields among member countries in the region. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Zambry Abdul Kadir stated that this proposal was among the topics discussed during the ASEAN Higher Education Ministers' Roundtable here today. "Although certain countries have conducted studies at their respective university levels, there isn't a more comprehensive institute for all ASEAN member states," he said at a press conference after the roundtable here today. He added that Malaysia has offered to host this ASEAN Institute, given the country's expertise, including through the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies (IKMAS) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Furthermore, he noted that the roundtable also discussed student and academic mobility within the region, including exchange programs that would allow foreign lecturers to teach at educational institutions in Malaysia. "Additionally, we also agreed to establish a body to manage scholarship matters, namely ASEAN-GEMS. This platform will be utilized to seek financial resources among ASEAN member states to provide scholarships," he said. The ASEAN Global Exchange for Mobility and Scholarship (AEAN GEMS) is a one-stop platform for information about regional scholarship and mobility programs throughout the ASEAN region that was launched tonight. This initiative will, among other things, provide access to opportunities and scholarship offers for all ASEAN students, while also supporting regional integration by encouraging youth mobility and cross-border academic exchanges. Zambry further mentioned that other matters discussed included proposals to establish networks and collaborative platforms among ASEAN higher education institutions, and to ensure that all discussion outcomes are elevated to the ASEAN Heads of State Meeting in October.

Iran denies targeting hospital in southern Israel
Smokes raises from a building of the Soroka hospital complexin Beersheba, Israel, Thursday, June 19, 2025. (AP Photo/Leo Correa) ISTANBUL (BERNAMA-ANADOLU): Iran denied on Thursday (June 19) Israeli accusations of intentionally striking Soroka Hospital in southern Israel, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. "Our powerful Armed Forces accurately eliminated an Israeli Military Command, Control and Intelligence headquarters and another vital target," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement on his X account. He said the blast wave caused superficial damage to a small section of the nearby, and largely evacuated Soroka Military Hospital. "The facility is mainly used to treat Israeli soldiers engaged in the genocide in Gaza 25 miles away, where Israel has destroyed or damaged 94% of Palestinian hospitals," he added. Iran's state news agency IRNA claimed the missiles targeted the headquarters of the Israeli army and intelligence service near Soroka Hospital. Hostilities began on June 13 when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes. In Iran, 585 people have been killed and more than 1,300 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to Iranian media reports. - Bernama-Anadolu
